Music and Arts

On behalf of the Music and Arts Ministries at Shady Grove, I would like to extend to you the opportunity to find your place of service in the choirs and ensembles for children, youth, and adults that are offered. It is my hope that once you find your place, you will be encouraged to discover the ways that the music and arts ministries can enhance your spiritual life as well as help worship continue to grow in scope, spirituality, and excellence in harmony with the church’s mission statement: “Discovering and living the love of God through sharing, serving, and connecting with all peoples.”

Serving Him Together,
Rev. Sylvia N. Cooper
Minister of Music and Arts

Music and Arts Mission Statement

We believe that the music and arts ministries are powerful ways to worship and serve God in building God’s kingdom.
